Persecution at West Point.

| west Point has met with pretty sever,
| rebukc from the administration in the revo
cation by the president of the unexpected
part OF the sentence against Cadet Evans o
Illinois. lie was tried by courC-martial
| found guilty, and sentenced, because he
| had stated to young lieutenant, who was
one OF his instructors, that he had treated
him unfairly. His classmates told the
members of the board OF visitors that
Evans had simply told the truth, whatever
difference of opinion there might be as to
the propricty of giving expression to his
views. But military discipline as inter
preted at West Point, could not brook this,
and the sentence of the court-martial con-
demned the cadet to remain at the acad-
emy during the entire term of the encamp-
ment, and TO be put down two numbers on
the list The confinement might be en-
dured, but to be placed down two numbers
was a great degradation, which would fol-
low the cadet through life, and which
might seriously interfere with Just promo
tion at an important period IN his career.
The officers at West Point were remop.
strated with by high officials. They were
